I've been keeping up with you ladies but haven't had the chance to post in a while. Congrats to Madrid and Anna for your great appointments and scans!! I now fully understand the relief you feel seeing your little bean all snug and cozy. I had some sharp pains last night and doc had me come in this afternoon to make sure it wasn't an ectopic. So I got to see my little pumpkin's sack, yolk sack, fetal pole and saw/heard the heartbeat. The tech said the heart was flickering at around 100 bmp which is normal for 6 weeks. What a relief!!!!! I'm so happy right now and am enjoying being pregnant for the first time. I really haven't let myself believe this is all going to work this time but today gave me a glimmer of hope. So, here's a pic from today
It is a relief isn't it?? I know I feel tons better. Now it's like we know the little ones are in there and doing great, so we can all breathe and start to enjoy our pregnancies. Congrats on your scan!!!
I thought I would cry seeing that flickering heartbeat but it was squashed by the tech reminding me I'm still not out of the woods and anything could still happen.... gee thanks! Oh well.... I'm feeling the worst I've felt this whole pregnancy today. I'm not sure if it was the McDonald's burger I was forced to eat for lunch (it was either that or starve)... I've decided I'll starve next time But, boy.... I felt the same motion sickness type feeling I did with both my boys. I knew it was going to start any day... but I was secretly hoping MS would skip right over me this time. Maybe it won't be that bad this time FX!!!!!
Really?? That's a pretty crappy tech. They are supposed to reassure us and tell us not to stress. I've noticed now that I'm not stressed, I don't feel the crampy stuff as often as I did before. No one is ever truly out of the woods, but your odds have gone up significantly since seeing the heartbeat; just remember that. I've had a few bouts of nausea, but then I just have to eat very quickly and it settles it. Other than that, I'm good. Hope you have some ginger pops or something to suck on to help you!
